1. Oscar Piastri-

Whilst not the faster McLaren driver throughout the weekend, Oscar was able to keep his nose clean whilst his teammate got into too many scuffles. It made it three race wins in a row for Oscar, who is rapidly becoming the title favourite.

2. George Russell-

Whilst not the fastest Mercedes driver in qualifying, George Russell did what he’s done all year, be consistent and end up on the podium. His third place at Miami is his fourth in six races, matching his total from 2024.

3. Max Verstappen-

Max produced a brilliant lap to take pole position for the Miami Grand Prix. Whilst he couldn’t hold back the faster McLaren cars, he showed grit and determination fighting Oscar and Lando. An unlucky virtual safety car relegated Max to fourth, but he reminded us that he will not give up throughout the entire year. It’s what makes him one of the sport’s greatest and most entertaining drivers.

4. Alexander Albon-

Alex matched his best performance of 2025 at Miami, getting fifth place in the Williams. He was genuinely better than both Ferraris and one Mercedes on pace, representing a fantastic turnaround for the erstwhile midfield team. Alex has been outstanding so far this year and has stepped up to the challenge of being Sainz’s teammate.

5. Andrea Kimi Antonelli-

Pole position for the sprint and outpacing Russell in qualifying for the first time of the year represented a breakthrough weekend for Kimi. Whilst his race pace was not enough to challenge for the top positions, Kimi showed me that he has the inherent pace of a future world champion.
